Finally got one right. I definitely hate these questions. Hopefully we can turn it around.

Looks like we're skipping MOR on the actual test in 3 weeks.

So I am not the best representation as compared to the other commenter but I did massively improve my score. My diagnostic was a 135 and my final PT was a 151. I knew I wasn't going to a fantastic school but that doesn't necessarily mean I set myself short and didn't put in work to get that score, It took me a very long time to get there. It is possible. You have to want it.

I'm starting to get it now. I find that when I spend a little more time trying to understand the argument rather than speeding to meet the target time, I do much better.

The psychology I always found was correct was that if you found the exam to be difficult then you did better than you expected, if the exam was easier, then you did worse than you expected. Don't stress about it whatsoever. Don't look at reddit at all. Try to take your mind off it for 2 and a half weeks until scores come back. It will be alright. I believe in you.

I chose A simply because of the exemplary record in the argument. Because Penn didn't deserve it, and Franklin did it makes sense to look at answers where it was beyond the reasonable expectation, but Penn did not deserve the commendation medal because of his failure to have an exceptional record. A is the only 1 that fits that requirement. B fails the conclusion because both Franklin and Penn met the criteria when the conclusion says one (Penn) needed to fail the rule. C is the same as B, but applies instead to the reasonable expectation rather than the Exemplary record. D doesn't apply the rule fully to talk about the exemplary record. E I feel was a kinda-trap answer because of the "several occasions" and "on no occasions". Kinda surprised it was a 5/5 difficulty.

Hey, I am taking the January exam tomorrow and my score will determine if I apply for this cycle or take a gap year. Primarily because 75% of the schools I am applying to have deadline dates and are not rolling admissions schools. Ena makes a good point, law school isn't going anywhere. So don't be discouraged if you cannot get in right away, take a gap year get some work experience, retake the LSAT and most definitely try again next cycle.

What question types are you struggling with? For some, there are quick ways to identify how to go about answering the question. Let me know and I can help.

I would also recommend taking PT's 123 and up to the most recent, those are going to be the most accurate and similar exams you will take when it comes to actually sit for the real exam.

I was feeling the same way for a while and then I found that when I took the emotion out of the exam, I wasn't freaking out over answers being incorrect whatsoever. You sort of have to be robotic in a way, if you let the emotions get the best of you, you won't succeed. You need to be wired to understand that this is a step in progressing upwards, it's going to happen, and you can't get frustrated with your studying, drilling and especially PT'ing. Something that worked for me was I have a paper on my wall above my desk that says " 15 right, 15 right, 15 right". That represents how many I need to get right in each section to get a 150 at a minimum. I know I'm not going into big law and don't want to go to a T-14 school, I just want to become a lawyer working as a prosecutor or a defense attorney somewhere. I know what I need to do to get there and a 150 at the minimum is whats going to get me there. That works massively for me when I am in a rut, I will look at my wall and remind myself what I am doing all of this for. There is a term in poker called going on tilt. It's when you let emotion cloud your judgment while playing a game, and instead of playing emotionless like you are supposed to do, you play questioning your every move and emotion is your sole determination in every move you make. Same thing applies with the LSAT, if you start getting frustrated on a problem, you will get frustrated with the ones throughout the rest of the exam and you will start to question every decision you make. Be emotionless, be confident, and have a plan of how you are going to improve. You can only go up from here and always remind yourself of where you want to be, and how you are going to get there. If you know your motivations, you will be just fine and you will do fantastic. You cannot let your LSAT score define you whatsoever. A number is just a number. Think of every PT you take as just another exam, including the actual exam you take. Don't change your mindset at all. Do not look at subreddits, tiktoks, instagram reels, anything. It will only discourage you more and make you feel even worse. You got this!

Hey Gianna, taking my second LSAT so I can help out with your questions.

You will have to scan your room for the proctor. I had to unplug my computer at my desk and put it underneath the desk to show that there were no sticky notes or anything that I could look at during the exam. The person I had was very understanding that I had a dog who is most definitely a barker, so I just told him "Hey, apologies in advance for my dog if she barks" and everything was fine. You can use highlighters, control-F, cross out answers on the test like you do for any other test you have taken. The layout is a little different, so before you sit for the test, I would take a practice test on LawHub to get a feel for the exam and how it is done on their program. You can monitor the clock, you can remove the clock like you can on 7sage. Everything is pretty much the same. If you are taking it on a laptop, I would highly suggest plugging it in to stay fully charged during the exam (my computer was 100 at the start, finished at 12%). You do get pieces of paper to use (I think 5), and other than that you cannot have anything with you and cannot be used until after the exam (phone, etc). Hope this helps :)

Hi, there is no way of creating experimental-only sections to drill. You can be given experimental sections on a specific type of question at random and you can identify it by looking for the "Exp" tag in the review section of your drill, but no there is no way to only assign experimental questions to your drill as compared to only doing scored questions.

Am I the only one who feels that these 3+ difficulty questions aren't really that difficult? I'm not sure how the question is constituted as a 3. I got it simply by reading and following the rule given.

I have been rolling through this section. Would it be dumb of me to assume that a large majority of LSAT questions may consist of these type of assumption questions because of how long the section is (28 Lessons) and how many drill questions there are?

You Got This

It's January test week. This is your opportunity to shine and show those law schools what you are made of. You are doing something that many people are not willing to do. You are taking a very difficult and important exam, so be proud of how much you have achieved thus far. I am nervous, I am sure you are nervous, but think of it as just another test. Do not let the pressure get to you. Block out all of the emotion and act like it's just another test. Forget the person proctoring you, watching you closely, you made it this far and you will do just fine. I have faith in you. Do not forget that a number does not define you. Don't let it define you. Whether it is your first LSAT or your fifth, prepare for that test with a positive mindset and press the submit button with pride, because on February 5th when January scores come out, you will get the score you were hoping for. Good luck everybody. YOU GOT THIS!!!
